Watch Katy Perry, Will.i.am, Adam Lambert, Others Sing 'Imagine' for UNICEF
By Colin Stutz | November 21, 2014 8:23 PM EST
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of United Nations' Convention on the Rights of the Child, UNICEF has teamed up with Yoko Ono and David Guetta to assemble a star cast to cover John Lennon's beloved "Imagine" for what they're calling the #IMAGINE Project.
The black and white video shows Katy Perry, Will.i.am, MAGIC!, Adam Lambert, Nicole Scherzinger, Cody Simpson, Idris Elba, Lance Bass and other musicians, as well as actors, athletes and dignitaries singing the song emotionally.
The participants' individual recordings will be compiled by Guetta to be released as a "world version" of "Imagine" on Jan. 1, 2015.

UNICEF Launches John Lennon–Inspired #IMAGINE Campaign
With a new app, users can record their own version of Lennon's "Imagine" for possible inclusion on an all-star "world" mix created by David Guetta
By Ryan Reed | November 21, 2014
UNICEF has launched a new campaign, #IMAGINE, to draw attention to the challenges children face around the world and help raise money for the organization. Yoko Ono, Hugh Jackman and ABBA member Björn Ulvaeus presented it to the UN General Assembly at the 25th anniversary of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child on November 20th.
The campaign launch included a video of John Lennon's "Imagine" that featured cameos by more than 100 people, including musicians, actors, celebrities, sports figures, dignitaries and children's choirs. Among them were Katy Perry, Adam Lambert, Courteney Cox and Lance Bass singing the song alongside clips of Lennon performing it.
Part of the project is a digital app, made by TouchCast, that enables users to record their own versions of the song. Some of these performances will be combined with versions from other artists and UNICEF ambassadors into a multi-lingual "world" mix produced by David Guetta. TouchCast for iOS is available for download at the #IMAGINE website or via the Apple App Store.
In addition to singing, participants are encouraged to record personal messages describing their vision of a better world for children. All submitted vocals and videos will also have a chance to make the cut for an accompanying interactive music video, which will come out – with the song – in the weeks leading up to New Year's. Users can share their recordings on social media using the hashtags #EVERYVOICECOUNTS and #IMAGINE.
Participants can also donate to UNICEF, with all funds benefitting the organization's programs that provide education, nutrition, healthcare and immunizations, clean water and sanitation, protection and emergency relief for children in more than 150 countries and territories.
"I'm really excited to be working with UNICEF on this incredible new project," Guetta said in a statement. "Our 'world' version of 'Imagine' will be like no other – I am proud to be a part of this collaboration. We have to get the word out that every voice counts and every child counts, too."
"A dream you dream alone may be a dream, but a dream two people dream together is a reality," Ono said in a statement.

Top 10 American Music Awards Moments: Past AMAs' Video Highlights
By Jason Lipshutz, New York | November 21, 2014 1:35 PM EST
From Miley Cyrus' giant cat to PSY's crazy mash-up with MC Hammer, check out the 10 most memorable AMAs performances ever.
Over the past 42 years, the American Music Awards have produced dozens of memorable performances, from the quiet grace of Madonna's duet with Babyface in 1995 to the controversial sexuality of Adam Lambert in 2009 to the historic collaboration of "We Are The World" in 1986. As we look forward to the 2014 American Music Awards on Sunday, Nov. 23, check out these 10 memorable moments in the show's history:
Beyonce - 'Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)' (2008)
Miley Cyrus - 'Wrecking Ball' (2013)
Madonna and Babyface - 'Take a Bow' (1995)
Britney Spears - 'I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman' (2002)
We Are The World' (1986)
Adam Lambert - 'For Your Entertainment' (2009)
The "American Idol" runner-up shocked the AMAs crowd with a racy rendition of "For Your Entertainment" in which he sang, "Can you handle what I'm about to do?" Some could not, as Lambert's performance, which included a sloppy kiss with a male guitarist and some choice S&M gear, sparked immediate controversy. The performance still stands as Lambert's most memorable awards show outing, although his career hasn't slowed down at all -- "Trespassing," his sophomore album, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in May 2012.
'N Sync - 'Bye Bye Bye' (2000)
Lady Gaga - 'Bad Romance' (2009)
LMFAO - 'Party Rock Anthem' & 'Sexy and I Know It' (2011)
Psy & MC Hammer - "Gangnam Style / 2 Legit 2 Quit" (2012)

Amy Poehler's Final Old Navy Ad Is Here ... and It's Spectacular
PEOPLE StyleWatch-11/21/2014 at 06:00 PM ET
Amy Poehler’s Old Navy ads may be the rare commercial that has you turn the TV off of mute. She’s played an unprofessional judge, a rude reservationist, a snooty art store critic, and now she’s finally embracing the role she was born to play: A pop diva playing to an auditorium devoid of fans. (Surprise! They’re all at Old Navy’s Black Friday sale!)
In behind-the-scenes footage, Poehler acknowledged that her time as the brand’s face was wrapping up, but said it was all worth it in the service of the ultimate goal: stringing the ads together at the end to blow your mind. “There’s an Easter Egg in each one and it all has a narrative theme if you pay attention. These commercials are like a season of The Wire. And they all make sense at the end,” she jokes. “If you watch these commercials with the soundtrack of Pink Floyd, then it makes sense. In each one of these commercials is an Illuminati reference.”
Also, any resemblance of her Old Navy-loving pop diva to any names you have guessed is purely unintentional. Sot of. “I’m not channeling anyone specific,” she says. “I’m probably a combination of like, Shakira and J.Lo and Madonna and Adam Lambert.”
And as to what you should buy with the million dollars if you win? (The spot, below, will explain it all.) “Three really nice pairs of pants.” Pretty solid advice if you ask us.
